From c5ecd62c25400a3c6856e009f84257d5bd03f03b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2006 22:25:41 -0800 Subject: [NET]: Move destructor from neigh->ops to neigh_params struct neigh_ops currently has a destructor field, which no in-kernel drivers outside of infiniband use. The infiniband/ulp/ipoib in-tree driver stashes some info in the neighbour structure (the results of the second-stage lookup from ARP results to real link-level path), and it uses neigh->ops->destructor to get a callback so it can clean up this extra info when a neighbour is freed. We've run into problems with this: since the destructor is in an ops field that is shared between neighbours that may belong to different net devices, there's no way to set/clear it safely. The following patch moves this field to neigh_parms where it can be safely set, together with its twin neigh_setup. Two additional patches in the patch series update ipoib to use this new interface.
